"I'm fine, the situation has been brought under control," President Umaro Sissoco Embaló told Jeune Afrique around 7 p.m. local time. Reached by telephone, the Bissau-Guinean head of state assured that he was at the presidential palace. He specified that the shootings, had lasted 5 hours and that there were “a lot of dead”. "They are the work of isolated elements," he added.

The President, US Embalo, on his verified Facebook page, posted photos with the Army Generals and Prime Minister, Nuno Gomes in seemingly good condition at the Presidential Palace. With a caption:

Calm returns to Guinea Bissau.

He is currently addressing the nation.

Should we rejoice at the coups?

I think African nations have played subservient roles to western powers for far too long. France’s grip on its African colonies have weakened following coups in Mali, Burkina Faso.

Maybe it’s time for this evil contraption, business-venture-of-wickedness called Nigeria to break free from British rule and misrule.

The President had earlier tweeted, though account is unverified:

I am fine Alhamdulilah. The situation is under Government control. I thank the people of Guinea Bissau and all the people beyond our Country who are concerned fory Government and me. Long live the Republic and May God watch over Guinea Bissau.

All these keep happening because ECOWAS has not taken a drastic step.

Like play like play West Africa is slowly delving back into the age of military rule

Paul biya and co should immediately start thinking of how to conduct fair credible elections and hand over to whomever the citizens elect or choose .. if not Africa will see another Military tsunami sweeping all sit tight corrupt leaders away

Second chance avoid corruption

A welcome development in Africa
It's time for other agbada men using democracy as an avenue to loot the populace

Politicians must step up or else make them force them out
These embolo of a man ought to have been deposed
Africa must be free from corruption and greedy leaders
Nigeria una own dey front

It is well with you Africa

Like play like play. If this coup succeeded, many African presidents would have volunteered to hand over their positions

T

They're cooking another coup, make he no lose guard

Season of coup on West Africa.

Reason for coup, corruption, maladministration & poverty

These people look like Nollywood actors.

Lucky him

The reality is that millitary coup is no longer fashionable or expedient in this modern africa era.

Africa still very much like a jungle. Survival of the fittest. Rule of law still relegated to the background. Na who carry gun get ultimate power.

They should go back and do better planning then try again in some months time just like it was done in Mali and elsewhere.

What step do you recommend they take ?

See these old men in khaki looking like Oshodi drivers.

Dem never shee shumtin, coup will be a preference for them if they don't correct their ways, all African leaders I mean....most especially those Nigeria's

The boys should try again and harder this time. Nonsense corrupt african leaders must go.

Thumb rule:
Never buy any good from an Ibo guy or girl unless you don't want to buy original.

We discovered in our family that
Toothpastes
Brush
Body cream
Washing soaps
Beverages
Drinks
Electronics
Gems
All materials. They got 20% original and the other 80% are fake from Aba.
They know you are all running away from buying from them and so they take your tribes as sales boy and girl so as to deceive you.
Their fellow ibos know how to get the original from them.
So
DO NOT BUY AGAIN EVER FROM AN IBO SHOP

I support the coupe and i pray for such of thing to happen in Nigeria to in order to re-arrange this country and Chase away all the corrupt leaders

President is fresh, though.

This shows that African leaders have still not learnt any lessons from the past military coup era, really unfortunate.

Government official wear this kind shoe
